Frequently Asked Questions
Q: WHAT’s the difference between a venue coordinator + A wedding coordinator?
A: A venue coordinator is a great asset—to the venue. A wedding coordinator works for you and will have your best interests, event vision, and budget in mind throughout the planning process.
Q: WILL you personally be at my Event?
A: Yes! I am presently the sole lead planner at SES Events, and while we do have day-of assistants, I will always be onsite for your event.
Q: HOW MANY weddings do you do at at time?
A: We never book more than one wedding per weekend, which ensures that we can be fully present with you both physically + mentally for your big day!
Q: How many DAY-OF ASSISTANTS will be at my wedding?
A: In addition to your lead planner, often at least one day-of assistant who will be present from setup to breakdown to assist. Based on certain guest counts + specific details, additional assistants may be required for an additional fee.
Q: WILL WE GET FEATURED on your website or instagram?
A: We love to share the amazing moments from your special day with the world and would be delighted to share your photos! Although most of our events do get featured, this is not something that is guaranteed. (And certainly please let us know up front if you do not wish to have your photos used in our marketing.)
Q: how far in advance should i book?
A: Some of my clients book two years or more in advance, so it’s never too early to inquire. If you are looking for full planning + design services, we recommend booking no less than 12-15 months out; for day-of coordination, we recommend no less than 4-6 months out (although peak season dates book up early!).
Q: WE’RE HAVING A DESTINATION WEDDING. DO YOU TRAVEL?
A: As much as we adore destination weddings, we are staying in New England for the time being; however we love to travel and may add this service in the future!
Q: Can I add services along the way?
A: Absolutely! Let’s say you book us for day-of coordination but find you are struggling with collecting your RSVP’s or putting your welcome bags together…let us know and as long as the additional service(s) won’t negatively impact existing clients and responsibilities, we are happy to help in any way we can.
Q: is there anything you won’t do at my event?
A: While there are certain tasks that are not a standard part of our service (ie setting up tables + moving chairs), we are able to accommodate most requests by planning ahead for the proper time and staff for an additional fee.
Q: What is a complimentary consultation?
A: We love talking with you to get to know you, understand the vision for your event, and discuss ways in which we can help make your event a smashing success. Our 30 minute initial phone consultations give us time to do just that, and for you to ask questions and decide if we’re a good fit!
Q: HOW DO WE RESERVE OUR WEDDING DATE?
A: After our complimentary consultation, we’ll draft a proposal or contract for you based on your desired services. A signed contract and a 50% deposit is required in order to get your wedding day on the calendar. One week prior to your wedding, the remainder of the balance is due.
Q: DO YOU HAVE A LIST OF PREFERRED VENDORS you can share?
A: We sure do! From photographers and venues to florists and caterers, we have worked with some of the best companies in the industry and would be happy to share their information with you!
